    FAQs

    Almost all Cerebro users have pre-existing lender relationships. Our process easily incorporates those lenders to maximize leverage or excludes those lenders depending on circumstances. The borrower always has full control over which lenders are engaged. 

    Banks and non-bank lenders across the middle market complete detailed profiles including information on their underwriting criteria. Cerebro’s algorithm cross-references a borrower’s company profile and finance request to the lender’s profile. Borrowers explicitly approve or veto matched lenders prior to deal launch. 

    Typical loan sizes range from $2MM on the low end to over $100MM on the high end.
